I think the author of the video is too quick in accusing Thomann
instead of the Chinese supplier. Chinese suppliers of copied
instruments often use the pictures from the originals, and not form
their own work. If you go internet shopping for a cheap Chinese Gibson,
Fender or fancy jazz guitar, you'll find the suppliers use the pictures
taken from the websites of the original guitars, and not pictures from
what you will actually get. I'm sure Thomann violates copyright laws by
distributing these instruments, if they actually did because in all the
stories I haven't heard anyone yet who actually bought one of the
Thomann Chanterelle copycat lutes, but I think the focus of LDD should
be at looking at what's going on at their Chinese lute supplier.
On a side note. I'm interested in the copyright on a historically
accurate lute. If a luthier makes a historically accurate lute, whose
copyright are you infringing if you make that same historically
accurate lute?
